Sony TCM-200DV Cassette Recorder

$35.00 Released January, 2006

The Pros:Durably constructed so you can take it anywhere and not worry about bumps or the occasional drop. Feels very light weight, not a real burden to carry. Sound output is clear and distortion free, minimizes tape hiss.

The Cons:Looks a little clunky, not a very sleek design.

The Sony TCM-200DV is a Cassette Recorder with Dual Power Source released in 2006. It has a double recording time feature so that users can record for 180 minutes on a 90 minute tape. It also has a useful feature called voice operated recording, where it only records if there is audible sound, and pauses when there is no sound (this feature alone could justify its $15 increase in price over the Sony TCM-150 Cassette Recorder).
